Just get whatever at the airport.

When the initial tourist package ends you can choose whatever else that fits you through the respective apps.

Still using my tourist SIM from AIS gotten at the airport in December 2021.

There is no difference in price from regular sims.

Anonymous participant 120 once the initial tourist package ends you can choose whatever you want for a regular price through the MyAIS app.

That's what AIS does, anyway.

Unless you already have a Thai bank account or come from a country where your Embassy in Thailand offer a Income Affidavit...

Get the Non-O from your country before you leave.

Your life will be much easier.

Just asking clarifying questions out of curiosity.

Does it make it easier? Sure.

But do you need it? No.

What in the world wold REQUIRE a bank account when you come here twice a year?

I am honestly curious. Please enlighten me.

I lived here for at least 2 years before I got an account. And I still would not need it for anything at all.

yes. You can easily get a license as a tourist.

Check with a local driving School of just head off to your local DLT office to ask about their requirements.

If you don't have a motorbike license in your home country, you will need to get a local license to legally drive.

People who rent them out might not care at all. But your insurance for sure will if there is an accident. And seeing as Thailand is pretty far up towards the top on traffic accidents... You want to be covered.
